Child porn case prompts calls for caution By Cara Shaw The Western Front The city of Bellingham already has received 138 reports of sex crimes in 2004, but that number recently rose to 139. Bellingham police officers arrested and booked Michael Hinkel Sept. 16 into the Whatcom County Jail under suspicion of possession of child pornography. Police arrested Hinkel pending an investigation of possessing a depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, Bellingham Police Department Lt. Craige Ambrose said. Hinkel has been released from jail and is awaiting the conclusion of the investigation, a Whatcom County Jail Officer said Thursday. Ambrose said the investigation started on Aug. 1 after a computer technician discovered images of nude preteen females while attempting to repair Hinkel's computer, and he then reported it to the police. The police used a warrant to search Hinkel's residence for additional child pornographic images, Ambrose said. The police took Hinkel into custody at the time of the warrant service, he said. After searching Hinkel's home, laptop and personal computer, officers recovered no additional pornography, said Roy Buckingham, Bellingham prosecuting attorney for Hinkel's case. SEE Pornography, PAGE 4 Library fights FBI subpoena for records By Mari Bergstrom The Western Front The attorney for the Whatcom C ounty Rural Library District revealed a memorandum in support of a motion to quash a subpoena filed on July 9 requiring the disclosure of the names and addresses of people who borrowed the book, "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America" on Sept. 27 at Village Books in Fairhaven The attorney, Deborra Garrett, said the subpoena infringed on the constitutional rights of those who borrowed the book by Yos'sef Bodansky. According to Garrett's memorandum to the U.S. District Court in Seattle, a library patron contacted Bellingham FBI agent James Powers in June regarding a handwritten note in the margins of the book from the Deming branch of the library. The note stated: "If the things I'm doing is considered a crime, then let history be a witness that I am a criminal. Hostility toward America is a religious duty and we hope to be rewarded by God." Powers contacted the library district after receiving this information, and requested further information on the book, which an unnamed library employee denied, according to the memorandum. The employee told Powers to contact Garrett, who told him the library's policy is to not release information regarding the books people borrow without a subpoena. "Fortunately, our library has a very strong training program ... insuring that the staff have a deep understanding of what the expectations of the library are regarding confidentiality," library district director Joan Airoldi said. SEE Library, PAGE 3 Taylor Avenue Dock opens along waterfront Laura Greaby/The Western Front Bellingham Major Mark Asmundson speaks at the dock's ribbon-cutting Sept. 24. By Laura Greaby The Western Front After 26 years of planning and more than a year of construction, the Taylor Avenue Dock is complete, allowing the public to enjoy scenery along Bellingham Bay between downtown and the Fairhaven district. Mayor Mark Asmundson officially dedicated the dock with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday. The restored dock has a new 1,150 foot-long concrete boardwalk that connects to Boulevard Park. Asmundson spoke about the construction of the dock and its impacts on the Bellingham community. "This is a way for people to move around without an automobile," Asmundson said. He said future plans exist to expand the boardwalk. Bryon Elmendorf, the retired director of the Bellingham Parks & Recreation Department, attended the dedication as well. "We started master planning for the dock in 1978," Elmendorf said. "It is exciting to see it finally completed." Leslie Bryson, head of design and development for the project, helped obtain funding from grants and plan the project with the consultants. Bryson also helped obtain necessary permits required for the project, which she said was a difficult process due to possible contamination in the area. The dock was a canning factory when first built and later became a cargo deck that released pollution and debris into the area, according to the printed program at the dedication. The Taylor Avenue Dock was built in the late 1800s, according to the program. Approximately 100 residents and supporters of the project attended the dedication. Asmundson called forward a group of children watching the ceremony to help cut the ribbon. Each took a piece of the ribbon home. Before the construction could start, workers removed approximately 726 tons of debris from Bellingham Bay. This is equivalent to more than 518 Volkswagen Beetles, according to the program. "This is a great place to bring visitors because of the view of the bay," Bellingham resident Norine Morrison said. Beginning in the summer of 2005, the city will add a covered picnic shelter and a new gateway structure on the dock's 10th Street entrance. The Citizens of Bellingham Greenway Program funded the project with grants including one from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program and the U.S. Department of Transportation.
